P.SCAN
(Progressive Scan)
Unlike a regular Interlace Scan in which two fields of picture information are alternated to
create the entire picture (odd scan lines, then even scan lines), Progressive Scan uses
one field of information (all lines displayed in one pass) to create a clear and detailed
picture without visible scan lines.
While the player is in the Stop mode, hold the P.SCAN button down for

What is Progressive (or Non-Interlaced) Scanning?
Interlaced Scan (1 FRAME = 2 FIELDS)
In interlaced-scan video, a frame consists of two
interlaced fields (odd and even), where each field
contains every other horizontal line in the frame.
The odd field of alternating lines is displayed first, and
then the even field is displayed to fill in the alternating
gaps left by the odd field to form a single frame.
One frame, displayed every 1/30th of a second, contains
two interfaced fields, thus a total of 60 fields are
displayed every 1/60th of a second each.
The interlaced scanning method is intended for capturing
a still object.
Note •
This function works only on TVs equipped with component video inputs (Y, Pr, Pb) that support Progressive
Video. (It does not work on TVs with conventional component inputs, i.e., non-progressive scan TVs.)
•
Depending on the brand and model of your TV, this function may not work.

Progressive Scan (FULL FRAME)
The progressive scanning method scans one full frame of
video consecutively down the screen, line by line.
As opposed to the interlaced scanning process by which a
video image is drawn in a series of passes, you get an
entire image drawn at one time.
The progressive scanning method is desirable for dealing
with moving objects. A camera that has the ability to
capture moving objects is called a "full frame shutter
camera".
